Re:Ask HN: When to release the first version of an iOS app?
on Tuesday August 30, 2022 @01:57PM (#32653158)
You can release now and do sales pitches on instagram and tiktok and youtube and hackernews. And prepare to webscale because there can be a huge traffic spike.
It doesn't matter what you and your small group of friends think about the app. People will react to your app differently. So, PREPARE. TO. WEBSCALE!

B/A' will of course grow more rapidly than B/A

It'd be nice if they optimize for eink display as well. Solid black text on solid white background.
Re:Moved a server from one building to another with zero downtime

Could've been cheaper to buy/rent another server, put it on the new location, set up redundancy/replication, power off the old server, move it to the new location, return the new server. Or just keep it for sanity.

Re:An introduction to RabbitMQ
on Thursday May 21, 2020 @02:31PM (#23262781)
RabbitMQ has huge learning curve if you're trying to build a worker queue.
First, you'll learn about ack/noack and get the worker ack on success.
Then, you'll learn about dead letter queue ... etc for delayed retries.
Now, you'll have a topic exchange and a bit hairy routing in place using wildcards.
And you mistakenly set dead letter routing key so that expired messages end up in multiple queues (retry queues and actual worker queue ... ).
Then you rewrite your service in python and use Celery or something.
It's nearly impossible to get RabbitMQ working correctly within few months.
And I forgot about HA. Paying for hosted RabbitMQ might be better. But CloudAMQP in particular could be tricky as well. It can run out of AWS IOPS and your production gets hosed.
Also setting up monitoring on queue health, shoveling error queues ... etc take time to learn and apply. Be careful about routing keys when you shovel error queue to a topic.
